Onion Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) I just reached 4 ghz on my Q9450, and it might be stable enough for 24/7! This new ram is awesome! Stock on it is 5-5-5-12 800, now I'm running 5-5-5-15 1000, 1:1 with my fsb. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1609924 New goal is 4.2 ghz, even though I won't be able to run that 24/7, it's way too hot in miami for that kind of speed. How much can these 45 nm quads take heat-wise? I'm going to squeeze every last mhz out of it!

Onion Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Damn, 4 ghz wall. It won't even get past the windows splash screen no matter how much juice I give it, and I already know its not the ram. There goes my fun...

Mine did .....or used to, since my board was sent in for RMA and they wiped my profiles, I haven't been able to hit 4.0ghz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCRO Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 That's beast! I wish my Q9550 could do a solid 500 FSB 24/7, ughh GOD, I miss when this chip could do 4.3 back in it's prime, I'm about to order new RAM lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Get that stable Leet and it will be nice for the Forum Wars Or at least stable enough to run the benchmarks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Get that stable Leet and it will be nice for the Forum Wars Or at least stable enough to run the benchmarks I'm re-doing my whole wc setup etc, and getting some better fans. I'm buying 4 yate loons rated at 88 cfm and 40 dba for use with my fan controller. I'm sure it'll be able to take more vcore and be stable enough for forum warz 2011, I just have to hope for a cold front that day. I've been running 3.6 ghz for the past few days, and it's pretty stable. My ram may have been holding my back, I was using my 800 mhz sticks, now I'm using my 1066 mhz ones @ 1080 5-5-5-15. The only setting higher than that is 1200, which is way to high, I can't even boot windows with them that high. Btw, everyone has different answers for this. What's the most VCore I can give my chip for 24/7 use and stay safe? And what's the highest safe I can give it when benching for a few hours?
